I saw the same ad. I thought that surely he left the 2, or at the very least, the 1 off the front end of the price tag. Maybe he just needs the funds for an English course and a new dictionary. Good catch!!

I just reported it.
For future reference any Ebay member can report a fraudulent auction.
click "help" top right Ebay page.
click "Contact Us" left hand column
click "Report problem with other Ebay members"
click "Fraud concern for buyers"
click "Report a listing you think is fraudulent (You didn't bid)
Enter the item number

That's interesting. Some possibilities:
1. The whole thing is actually legitimate
2. Dan Bangs is using his wife's (?) name
3. Dan is actually the wife (well not literally, but identity-wise; unless he's gay and he's the bottom)
4. The Bang's don't know they are in there at all; there is some sleigh of hand going on
5. We are overreacting about all of this
6. This is an FBI sting aimed at locating Usama ben Laden, who has declared the 928 family the Real Great Shaitan! Yi Yeee!
7. I don't know what the shrivelled camel's gonads I am talking about and just wasting bandwidth.
Cheers!

I'm wondering if there actually IS a car or if it a complete scam. What about the possibility of a stolen car and them using a different description or something.
Or maybe not.
